I just saw this posting on Van's Air Force, using paper clips to determine the placement of the engine baffles. I'm not there yet, but I'm going to remember this trick for sure.

Gee, Thanks, Smitty. Of course, I just finished my baffles about 2 wks ago, and this would have REALLY helped then! ;-) Oh well - guess this is just a good excuse to build another plane...!
